In addition to the backstory of Ethan Chandler, “Penny Dreadful” Season 3 shall also feature the backstories of the other main characters. It would really be interesting for fans to see the backstory of Sir Malcolm Murray who is also one of the main protagonists of the TV series, although a glimpse of it was already shown in the first two seasons.
But “Penny Dreadful” is mostly about Vanessa Ives and how she is dealing with her good as well as her dark side. The first two seasons of “Penny Dreadful” already gave a good glimpse of her backstory too and how she has become connected, in a way, with Sir Malcolm Murray.
The official promo trailer of “Penny Dreadful” Season 3 showed Vanessa toeing the line between sanity and insanity.
Most of the critics believe that the trailer of the TV series created by showrunner John Logan looks really stylish. It also pushed the envelope with its gothic visuals and aesthetics.
Just like its first two seasons, “Penny Dreadful” Season 3 shall be focusing on the tortured past of its core leads in style.
In addition to the three main characters, there is also Dorian Gray, played by Reeve Carney, Lily Frankenstein, played by Billie Piper, and Victor Frankenstein, played by Harry Treadaway, as well as new characters to make the TV series more exciting and suspenseful than ever.
